Poli Alert is the civic and political news platform from Baller Alert, a media company that has covered culture, entertainment and news since 2007. We cover the political stories that shape everyday life and explain how government works so our readers can show up as informed, engaged citizens.
What We Cover
Political News: daily reporting on Congress, the White House, the courts, elections and the policies that affect our communities.
Civics 101: plain language explainers on how government works, from how a bill becomes law to what a midterm election actually decides.
Cabinet Profiles: who runs the federal agencies, what they have done and what their decisions mean for you.
Opinion: sharp, clearly labeled commentary from our writers on the issues of the day.
The P.O.L.I. Show: People Out Loud and Informed, our video series hosted by Kenny Burns with Quentin James and Nsé Ufot, streaming on YouTube and Instagram at @polialert.
Our Mission
Politics is too important to be left to insiders. Poli Alert exists to make political news accessible, give our audience the context behind the headlines and help readers understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens, especially when it comes to voting.
Our Standards
Our reporting is based on public records, court filings, official statements and credible news sources, which we link to and credit. News stories and opinion pieces are clearly separated, and opinion content is labeled as such. When we get something wrong, we correct it. To request a correction, email us at the address below.
